Copper Nanoparticles Cycloaddition of Terminal Acetylenes with Carbohydrate Azide
Copper nanoparticles have been found to effectively catalyse the asymmetric synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles from cycloaddition of carbohydrate azide and terminal acetylenes in water. In all case the cycloaddition is accomplished with complete regioselectivity. [GRAPHICS] .
